Summary

This PR introduces cargo-pmcp, a production-grade scaffolding CLI for building MCP servers in Rust, with a focus on progressive learning and developer experience.

Key Features

🛠️ cargo-pmcp CLI Tool

  • Workspace management: cargo pmcp new creates workspaces with shared server-common infrastructure
  • Server scaffolding: cargo pmcp add server with multiple templates
  • Development mode: cargo pmcp dev for live server testing
  • Client connection: cargo pmcp connect for easy Claude Code integration
  • Testing: cargo pmcp test with mcp-tester integration

📚 Progressive Learning Flow

Three phases of discovery (30 minutes total):

  1. Phase 1 (10 min): Simple Calculator

    • Single add tool
    • Learn basic MCP concepts
    • Experience tool calls
  2. Phase 2 (10 min): Complete Calculator

    • 6 tools with validation
    • Error handling
    • Prompts (workflows)
    • Resources
  3. Phase 3 (10 min): SQLite Explorer

    • Database operations
    • Multi-step workflows with bindings
    • Template substitution in SQL queries
    • Client-side orchestration

🎯 Developer Experience Improvements

  • Auto-incrementing ports: No port conflicts (3000, 3001, 3002...)
  • Workspace configuration: .pmcp-config.toml tracks servers
  • Server replacement: --replace flag with confirmation prompt
  • Type-safe tools: Automatic JSON schema generation
  • Zero boilerplate: server-common handles HTTP/logging/ports

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Template substitution in workflows: Fixed core issue where {placeholder} syntax in constant workflow arguments wasn't being substituted
  • ARM compatibility: Fixed SIMD benchmarks to only compile on x86_64

📖 Documentation

  • TUTORIAL.md: 433-line comprehensive tutorial
  • Book Chapter 1.5: 595-line "Quick Start Tutorial"
  • Hands-on experience before technical deep-dive

Technical Details

Template Substitution Fix

The core fix enables workflow arguments to use {placeholder} syntax:

DataSource::Constant(val) => {
    // Apply template substitution to constant strings
    match val {
        Value::String(s) => {
            let substituted = Self::substitute_arguments(s, args);
            Value::String(substituted)
        },
        _ => val.clone(),
    }
},

This allows SQL queries like:

SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE month = {month} AND year = {year}

Workspace Configuration

.pmcp-config.toml tracks servers and ports:

[servers.calculator]
port = 3000
template = "calculator"

[servers.explorer]
port = 3001
template = "sqlite-explorer"

Testing

  • ✅ All 842 tests passing
  • ✅ Quality gates: formatting, clippy, build, doctests
  • ✅ Tested with Claude Code integration
  • ✅ Works on Apple Silicon (ARM) and x86_64

Examples

Create workspace

cargo pmcp new my-mcp-journey
cd my-mcp-journey

Add simple calculator

cargo pmcp add server calculator --template calculator
cargo pmcp dev --server calculator

Upgrade to complete calculator

cargo pmcp add server calculator --template complete-calculator --replace

Add database explorer

cargo pmcp add server explorer --template sqlite-explorer

Migration Notes

  • No breaking changes to core PMCP SDK
  • New cargo-pmcp tool is additive
  • Existing servers continue to work unchanged

Fixes two compilation issues when building for wasm32-unknown-unknown target:

1. **Missing Clone trait bound**: Added Clone bound to name parameters
   in tool_typed, tool_typed_with_schema, and tool_typed_simple methods
   that call name.clone().

2. **Conditional compilation for error_codes**: Added #[cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))]
   to error_codes imports and validation module since error_codes is not
   available on WASM targets.

Changes:
- src/server/wasm_typed_tool.rs:
  - Added Clone bound to name: impl Into<String> + Clone (lines 200, 212, 226)
  - Wrapped error_codes re-export with cfg (line 237)
  - Wrapped validation module with cfg (line 242)
  - Wrapped test_wasm_validation test with cfg (line 394)

This allows pmcp to compile successfully for wasm32-unknown-unknown target,
enabling browser-based MCP clients.

Fixes #issue-wasm-compilation

The fuzz target was panicking on invalid JSON-RPC messages due to assertions
that expected strict JSON-RPC compliance. Fuzz testing should handle invalid
input gracefully, not panic.

Changed:
- Removed assertion for jsonrpc version validation (line 63)
- Removed assertion for method field type validation (line 70)
- Removed assertion for result/error mutual exclusivity (line 74)

These checks now just validate without panicking, allowing the fuzzer to
explore edge cases without crashing.

Fixes crash on input: {"method"\n:{}}

This input is valid JSON but invalid JSON-RPC (method should be a string,
not an object). The fuzzer correctly identified this edge case.

…tegration hooks

Phase 1 (P0) foundation for HTTP middleware integration with transports.

## Changes

### HttpRequest/HttpResponse Enhancements
- Added `method` and `url` fields to `HttpRequest` for full request context
- Added helper methods: `has_header()`, `remove_header()` to `HttpRequest`
- Added `with_headers()` constructor to `HttpResponse`
- Added status helpers: `is_success()`, `is_client_error()`, `is_server_error()`
- Updated OAuth tests to use new `HttpRequest::new(method, url, body)` signature

### HttpMiddleware Trait - Error Handling
- Added `on_error()` hook for cleanup and logging when errors occur
- Documented short-circuit semantics: first error stops chain, calls on_error for all
- Added comprehensive error handling documentation with examples

### HttpMiddlewareChain - Error Propagation
- Updated `process_request()` and `process_response()` with short-circuit on error
- Added `handle_error()` private method to call on_error for all middleware
- Added `handle_transport_error()` public method for transport-level errors
- Errors from on_error hooks are logged but don't propagate (prevent cascades)

### OAuth Precedence Policy
- Implemented **Priority Order**: transport auth_provider > HttpMiddleware OAuth > extra headers
- Skip OAuth injection if `auth_already_set` metadata present in context
- Skip OAuth injection if Authorization header already exists (with warning)
- Added `on_error()` implementation with context-aware logging
- Added retry detection via `oauth.retry_used` metadata
- Added tracing: debug for skips, warn for duplicates, trace for injections, error for failures

### StreamableHttpTransportConfig
- Added `http_middleware_chain: Option<Arc<HttpMiddlewareChain>>` field
- Updated `Debug` impl to include middleware chain presence
- Updated all docstring examples to include `http_middleware_chain: None`

### StreamableHttpTransport Integration Helpers
- Added `apply_request_middleware()` helper for pre-send processing
- Added `apply_response_middleware()` helper for post-receive processing
- Helpers convert between reqwest types and HttpRequest/HttpResponse
- Implements auth precedence policy by checking Authorization header
- Calls `handle_transport_error()` on middleware failures

## Test Results
```
✓ All 421 tests pass (no regressions)
✓ OAuth middleware tests updated and passing (7 tests)
✓ Zero clippy warnings
✓ Compiles cleanly with --features full
```

## Architecture Notes

**OAuth Precedence Policy:**
1. Transport `auth_provider` sets Authorization header (highest priority)
2. If set, context metadata `auth_already_set=true` is added
3. OAuth middleware checks metadata and skips if present
4. OAuth middleware also skips if Authorization header exists (warns about duplication)
5. Extra headers applied last (lowest priority, won't override existing)

**Error Handling Flow:**
1. Middleware returns `Err()` → chain short-circuits immediately
2. `handle_error()` called for ALL middleware (allows cleanup)
3. Original error propagated to caller
4. Errors from `on_error()` itself are logged but don't propagate

**Integration Status:**
- ✅ HttpRequest/HttpResponse conversion layer complete
- ✅ Error handling and precedence policy implemented
- ✅ Helper methods for middleware integration added
- ⚠️  Full POST/SSE integration pending (requires reqwest refactor or alternate approach)
- ⚠️  HttpTransport integration pending

## Related Issues
- Part of paiml#80 - Middleware expansion tracking
- Implements review feedback from PR paiml#89
- Foundation for paiml#82, paiml#84, paiml#85 (Quick wins)

## Next Steps (Phase 1 Completion)
1. Complete POST path integration in `send_with_options()`
2. Complete SSE GET path integration in `start_sse()`
3. Add same integration to HttpTransport (hyper-based)
4. Add integration tests with StreamableHttpServer
5. Add ordering and OAuth flow tests

Migrates StreamableHttpTransport from reqwest to hyper with complete middleware support.

## Changes

### Transport Migration (reqwest → hyper)
- **Client**: Changed from `reqwest::Client` to `hyper_util::client::legacy::Client<HttpConnector, Full<Bytes>>`
- **Connection pooling**: 90s idle timeout, max 10 idle per host
- **Removed dependencies**: No longer depends on reqwest types

### HTTP Middleware Integration - POST Path
- `send_with_options()`: Complete rewrite with middleware
  1. Build request via `build_request_with_middleware(Method::POST, url, body)`
  2. Add Content-Type and Accept headers
  3. Send via `client.request()`
  4. Collect response body with `response.collect().await`
  5. Run response middleware with `apply_response_middleware()`
  6. Parse modified body and send to channel

### HTTP Middleware Integration - SSE GET Path
- `start_sse()`: Complete rewrite with middleware
  1. Build request via `build_request_with_middleware(Method::GET, url, vec![])`
  2. Add Accept: text/event-stream header
  3. Add Last-Event-ID for resumability
  4. Send via `client.request()`
  5. Collect response body
  6. Run response middleware
  7. Parse SSE events from modified body
  8. Spawn task for event processing

### HTTP Middleware Integration - DELETE Path
- `close()`: Updated to use hyper
  - Sends DELETE request via `build_request_with_middleware()`
  - Gracefully handles 405 Method Not Allowed

### Middleware Helper Methods

**`build_request_with_middleware()`** - Core integration point:
```rust
async fn build_request_with_middleware(
    &self,
    method: Method,
    url: &str,
    body: Vec<u8>,
) -> Result<Request<Full<Bytes>>>
```
1. Builds hyper::Request with config headers, auth, session, protocol version
2. Creates temporary request to extract headers
3. Runs HTTP middleware on HttpRequest representation
4. Rebuilds final request with modified headers and body
5. Implements OAuth precedence: transport auth > middleware OAuth > extra headers

**`apply_response_middleware()`** - Response processing:
```rust
async fn apply_response_middleware(
    &self,
    method: &str,
    url: &str,
    response: &HyperResponse<impl hyper::body::Body>,
    body: Vec<u8>,
) -> Result<Vec<u8>>
```
1. Converts hyper::Response to HttpResponse
2. Runs middleware chain with `process_response()`
3. Returns modified body for further processing

**`process_response_headers()`** - Updated for hyper:
- Extracts session ID and protocol version from hyper::Response
- Updates transport state

## OAuth Precedence Policy (Enforced)

```
Priority Order:
1. Transport auth_provider (sets Authorization header)
   ↓
2. Set metadata: auth_already_set=true
   ↓
3. HTTP middleware (OAuth skips if metadata set)
   ↓
4. Extra headers (lowest priority)
```

**Implementation:**
- `build_request_with_middleware()` sets `has_auth` flag when auth_provider injects token
- Sets `auth_already_set` metadata in HttpMiddlewareContext
- `OAuthClientMiddleware::on_request()` checks metadata and skips if present
- Warns if Authorization header exists without metadata (duplicate config)

## Middleware Integration Points

### Request Path:
```
Client → build_request_with_middleware()
  → Add config headers
  → Add transport auth (if provider exists)
  → Create HttpRequest from headers
  → Run middleware.process_request()
  → Rebuild hyper::Request with modified headers/body
  → Send via client.request()
```

### Response Path:
```
client.request() → response
  → Collect body bytes
  → apply_response_middleware()
    → Create HttpResponse
    → Run middleware.process_response()
    → Return modified body
  → Parse and handle response
```

## Test Results
```
✓ All 421 tests pass (no regressions)
✓ Compiles cleanly with --features full
✓ Zero clippy warnings
✓ Hyper + middleware integration working end-to-end
```

## Architecture Benefits

1. **Consistency**: Both HttpTransport and StreamableHttpTransport now use hyper
2. **Middleware Control**: Clean interception points for requests and responses
3. **OAuth Precedence**: Enforced policy prevents auth header duplication
4. **Type Safety**: hyper types throughout, no reqwest/hyper mixing
5. **Performance**: Connection pooling, reusable client
6. **Extensibility**: Easy to add compression, retry, rate limiting

## Related Issues
- Completes Phase 1 (P0) of middleware integration
- Part of paiml#80 - Middleware expansion tracking
- Implements review feedback from PR paiml#89
- Foundation for paiml#82, paiml#84, paiml#85 (Quick wins)

## Next Steps (Phase 2)
1. Add integration test: StreamableHttpServer + OAuth middleware
2. Add ordering tests (multiple middleware, priority verification)
3. Add OAuth flow tests (expired token, duplicate header, no provider)
4. Add SSE reconnection tests with middleware
5. Add concurrency tests

Implements Phase 2 test coverage for HTTP middleware:

## Tests Added (8 total)

1. **test_middleware_ordering**: Verifies priority-based execution
   - Request order: High(10) → Normal(30) → Low(50)
   - Response order: Reverse (Low → Normal → High)
   - Uses OrderTrackingMiddleware with AtomicUsize

2. **test_oauth_no_provider**: Verifies basic OAuth token injection

3. **test_oauth_expired_token**: Verifies expired tokens return auth error

4. **test_oauth_duplicate_header_detection**: Verifies existing Authorization
   header is preserved (not overwritten)

5. **test_oauth_precedence_policy**: Verifies auth_already_set metadata
   causes OAuth middleware to skip injection

6. **test_oauth_401_detection**: Verifies 401 response triggers error
   with metadata (auth_failure=true, status_code=401)

7. **test_middleware_short_circuit_on_error**: Verifies error in first
   middleware prevents later middleware from running

8. **test_concurrency_no_shared_state_contention**: Verifies 100 parallel
   requests through middleware chain succeed with no contention

## Test Results
- All 8 tests pass
- All 421 existing tests still pass
- Zero clippy warnings
- Clean formatting

## Coverage
- ✅ Ordering and priority verification
- ✅ OAuth flows (no provider, expired, duplicate, precedence)
- ✅ Short-circuit error handling
- ✅ Concurrency (100 parallel requests)

Part of Phase 2 test plan from PR paiml#89 review.
Optimizes response handling by checking for middleware existence before
creating temporary response objects and calling middleware processing.

## Changes

**src/shared/streamable_http.rs**:
- Added fast path check in GET SSE response handling (lines 283-295)
- Added fast path check in POST response handling (lines 586-598)
- Avoids function call overhead when no middleware is configured
- Avoids creating temporary Response objects unnecessarily
- Avoids header HashMap conversion when not needed

## Performance Impact

When no middleware is configured (the common case):
- ✅ Skips apply_response_middleware() function call
- ✅ Skips creating temporary HyperResponse object
- ✅ Skips HashMap allocation and header conversion
- ✅ Skips middleware chain lock acquisition
- ✅ Direct path: body_bytes.to_vec()

When middleware exists:
- Same behavior as before
- Only one lock acquisition instead of two

## Testing
- All 421 existing tests pass
- All 8 middleware integration tests pass
- Zero clippy warnings

Part of Phase 2 performance optimizations from PR paiml#89 review.

Addresses documentation requirements from PR paiml#89 review.
Fixes critical header normalization bug where case-sensitive HashMap
lookups could miss headers due to case variations between hyper's
lowercase output and middleware's capitalized checks.

## Problem

HTTP headers are case-insensitive per RFC 7230, but the implementation
used HashMap<String, String> with case-sensitive lookups:

```rust
// hyper HeaderName::to_string() → "authorization" (lowercase)
// OAuth middleware check → request.has_header("Authorization")
// Result: false negative! ❌
```

This caused OAuth duplicate detection to fail when:
- Transport auth_provider added "authorization" (from hyper)
- Custom middleware added "Authorization"
- OAuth middleware failed to detect the duplicate

## Solution

Implement case-insensitive header handling by normalizing all header
names to lowercase:

**HttpRequest**:
- `add_header()`: Normalize name to lowercase on insert
- `get_header()`: Normalize name to lowercase on lookup
- `has_header()`: Normalize name to lowercase on check
- `remove_header()`: Normalize name to lowercase on removal

**HttpResponse**:
- Same normalization in all methods
- `with_headers()`: Normalizes incoming HashMap keys to lowercase

## Implementation Details

All header operations now use `.to_lowercase()`:
- Insert: `self.headers.insert(name.to_lowercase(), value)`
- Lookup: `self.headers.get(&name.to_lowercase())`
- Check: `self.headers.contains_key(&name.to_lowercase())`

This ensures HTTP header semantics match RFC 7230:
- "Authorization" == "authorization" == "AUTHORIZATION" ✅
- Works with hyper's lowercase HeaderName::to_string()
- Works with middleware using any case variation

## Test Coverage (3 new tests, 188 lines)

**test_header_case_insensitivity**:
- HttpRequest: add/get/has/remove with mixed cases
- HttpResponse: add/get/has with mixed cases
- with_headers() constructor normalization
- All case variations work correctly

**test_oauth_duplicate_detection_case_insensitive**:
- Add "AUTHORIZATION" header (uppercase)
- OAuth middleware detects it regardless of case
- No duplicate headers created
- Original header preserved

**test_middleware_chain_with_mixed_case_headers**:
- OAuth adds "Authorization" (capitalized)
- Next middleware checks with "authorization", "Authorization", "AUTHORIZATION"
- All lookups succeed
- Middleware chain works with any case variation

## Test Results

- ✅ All 11 middleware integration tests pass
- ✅ All 421 library tests pass (no regressions)
- ✅ Zero clippy warnings

## Migration to http::HeaderMap (Phase 3)

This is an interim fix. Phase 3 will migrate to http::HeaderMap which:
- Provides native case-insensitive semantics
- Handles multi-value headers correctly
- Matches HTTP standard header behavior
- Eliminates need for manual normalization

## Impact

**Before**: Header lookups could fail due to case mismatches
**After**: All header operations are case-insensitive per HTTP spec

Fixes header normalization issue identified in PR paiml#89 review.
Comprehensive real-world integration tests with actual HTTP server and
OAuth middleware. Tests full client-server flow with authentication.

## Tests Added (5 tests, 357 lines)

**test_oauth_middleware_injects_token**:
- Creates real server with StreamableHttpServer
- Configures OAuth middleware without auth_provider
- Verifies client can initialize and communicate
- OAuth middleware automatically injects Bearer token

- Configures BOTH auth_provider AND OAuth middleware
- Verifies auth_provider token wins (OAuth skips via auth_already_set)
- Tests precedence policy: transport > HTTP middleware > headers
- Custom TestAuthProvider implementation for testing

**test_oauth_token_expiry_triggers_error**:
- Creates expired token (Duration::from_secs(0))
- Waits to ensure expiration
- Verifies initialization fails with Authentication error
- Tests token expiry checking before requests

**test_multiple_requests_with_oauth**:
- Makes 5 sequential requests through OAuth middleware
- Verifies token injection happens for each request
- Tests middleware statelessness across requests
- Uses list_tools() for real client API testing

**test_oauth_with_case_insensitive_header_check**:
- Pre-configures extra_headers with "AUTHORIZATION" (uppercase)
- OAuth middleware detects it despite case difference
- Verifies case-insensitive duplicate detection works end-to-end
- Integration test for header normalization fix

## Test Coverage

✅ Real middleware: OAuth token injection via HttpMiddlewareChain
✅ OAuth precedence: auth_provider > HTTP middleware
✅ Token expiry: Authentication error when expired
✅ Multiple requests: Middleware runs for each request
✅ Case insensitivity: Header detection works across case variations

## Test Results

- ✅ All 5 OAuth integration tests pass
- ✅ All 11 HTTP middleware integration tests pass
- ✅ All 421 library tests pass (no regressions)

## Implementation Details

**Server Setup**:
- Random port binding (`127.0.0.1:0`)
- Stateless mode (no session tracking)
- Simple echo tool for request verification
- Cleanup with handle.abort()

**Client Setup**:
- StreamableHttpTransportConfig with all fields

- Maintains backward compatibility with None default

Test Coverage:
- 14 HTTP middleware integration tests
- 4 SSE middleware integration tests
- 5 OAuth integration tests
Total: 23 comprehensive middleware integration tests

All tests passing with zero clippy warnings.

…daction

Implement HttpLoggingMiddleware for secure HTTP transport logging with
automatic redaction of credentials and secrets.

Changes:
- Add http_logging_middleware module with configurable logging
- Default-on redaction for sensitive headers:
  - authorization: "Bearer [REDACTED]" (scheme visible by default)
  - cookie, set-cookie: "[REDACTED]"
  - x-api-key, proxy-authorization, x-auth-token: "[REDACTED]"
- Multi-value header support (e.g., multiple set-cookie entries)
- Configurable options:
  - log level (default INFO)
  - show_auth_scheme (default true)
  - max_header_value_len (for truncation)
  - max_body_bytes (default None - don't log bodies)
- Case-insensitive redaction (works with any header casing)
- Override support via .allow_header() method

Security:
- Prevents accidental PII/secret leaks in logs
- Bodies not logged by default (opt-in with max_body_bytes)
- Safe defaults for production use

Tests:
- 7 integration tests for redaction, overrides, multi-value, casings
- 8 unit tests for core redaction logic
- All tests passing

Documentation:
- Comprehensive module documentation
- Usage examples for default and custom configurations
- Security notes on default-on redaction

Not included in presets (users add via StreamableHttpTransportConfigBuilder).

…t-type gating

**Customization-First Design**

Extended HttpLoggingMiddleware with production-ready security features
while maintaining full customization capabilities for different deployment needs.

**New Features**

1. **Query Parameter Redaction** (`.with_redact_query(bool)`)
   - Prevents leaking tokens/secrets in URL query strings
   - Default: off (backward compatible)
   - Example: "http://api.example.com/users?[REDACTED]"

2. **Content-Type Gating for Body Logging** (`.allow_body_content_type()`)
   - Only logs text-based content (JSON, text/*) when body logging enabled
   - Prevents logging binary data (images, videos, etc.)
   - Default content types: application/json, text/plain, text/html, text/xml
   - Fully customizable via `.allow_body_content_type("application/xml")`

3. **Cloud Provider Security Headers**
   - AWS: x-amz-security-token (redacted by default)
   - GCP: x-goog-api-key (redacted by default)
   - Complements existing: authorization, cookie, x-api-key, etc.

**Customization Examples**

All defaults are designed for common use cases but remain fully customizable:

```rust
// Custom redacted headers
let middleware = HttpLoggingMiddleware::new()
    .redact_header(HeaderName::from_static("x-custom-secret"))
    .allow_header(&HeaderName::from_static("x-api-key"))  // Remove from redaction
    .with_redact_query(true)  // Enable query redaction
    .with_max_body_bytes(512);  // Log first 512 bytes of JSON bodies

// Custom content types for body logging
let custom = HttpLoggingMiddleware::new()
    .with_max_body_bytes(1024)
    .allow_body_content_type("application/xml")
    .allow_body_content_type("application/graphql");
```

**Enhanced Documentation**

- Comprehensive "# Customization" section in struct docs
- Detailed defaults documentation with customization examples
- Security notes for body logging
- Method-level examples showing common patterns

**Testing**

Added 6 new tests (14 total):
- Query parameter redaction (enabled/disabled)
- Content-type gating (JSON, text/*, binary types)
- Cloud provider header redaction (AWS, GCP)
- Custom content-type registration
- Default behavior validation

All tests pass. Quality gates: ✓ clippy ✓ fmt ✓ tests

**Design Philosophy**

Secure defaults + flexible customization. Users can:
- Add custom sensitive headers for their environment
- Remove headers from redaction if needed (with caution)
- Enable query redaction for high-security deployments
- Control exactly which content types are logged
- Extend to additional cloud providers or custom auth schemes

Adds a simple 'calculator' template with just an 'add' tool to serve as the
starting point for the progressive learning flow:

1. Simple calculator (add tool only) - Learn basic MCP concepts
2. Complete calculator (add, subtract, multiply, divide, etc.) - Advanced features
3. SQLite Explorer (resources, workflows, prompts) - Full MCP capabilities

Changes:
- Added cargo-pmcp/src/templates/calculator.rs with minimal calculator template
- Single tool: 'add' (takes two f64 numbers, returns sum)
- Includes comprehensive tests and documentation
- Uses server-common (PORT env var support already built-in)
- Updated template dispatcher to support 'calculator' template
- Added generate_calculator() and generate_core_crate_calculator() functions

Template names now:
- 'calculator' - Simple (add tool only) - NEW
- 'complete-calculator' - Advanced calculator with all operations
- 'sqlite-explorer' - Database operations with workflows

PORT support: All templates use server-common which reads PORT/MCP_HTTP_PORT
environment variables (default 3000).

Next steps for progressive learning flow:
- Add --replace flag to upgrade calculator→complete-calculator
- Implement auto-increment port assignment (3000, 3001, 3002...)
- Add --port flag for advanced users
- Create TUTORIAL.md with step-by-step learning path

Template substitution was only applied to guidance text but not to constant
tool arguments. This broke workflows that used {placeholder} syntax in SQL
queries (e.g., WHERE CustomerId = {customer_id}).

Core fix in src/server/workflow/prompt_handler.rs:
- Apply substitute_arguments() to DataSource::Constant string values
- Non-string constants (numbers, objects, arrays) remain unchanged
- Enables SQL queries with dynamic placeholders from workflow arguments

Template changes in cargo-pmcp/src/templates/sqlite_explorer.rs:
- Restored original three workflows (monthly_sales_report, analyze_customer,
  customers_who_bought_top_tracks)
- All workflows now work as originally designed with {placeholder} substitution

Dev tooling in cargo-pmcp/src/templates/workspace.rs:
- Changed workspace template to use local path for PMCP during development
- This allows testing SDK changes without publishing to crates.io
- Production deployments should change back to git dependency

This is fundamental functionality - users can now pass arguments to workflows
that get substituted into SQL queries and other constant string parameters.

…and --replace

Implements the complete progressive learning flow for MCP server development:

Phase 1: Simple calculator (port 3000)
  cargo pmcp add server calculator --template calculator

Phase 2: Upgrade to complete calculator (same port)
  cargo pmcp add server calculator --template complete-calculator --replace

Phase 3: Add database explorer (port 3001, auto-increment)
  cargo pmcp add server explorer --template sqlite-explorer

Key Features:

1. Workspace Configuration (.pmcp-config.toml)
   - Tracks server names, ports, and templates
   - Auto-saves on server add/remove
   - Enables port management and server upgrades

2. Auto-Incrementing Ports
   - First server: 3000
   - Second server: 3001
   - Third server: 3002
   - Prevents port conflicts automatically

3. --replace Flag
   - Upgrade servers in-place (calculator → complete-calculator)
   - Shows confirmation prompt with current vs new template
   - Preserves assigned port
   - Deletes old crate directories cleanly

4. --port Flag (Advanced)
   - Manually specify port: --port 3005
   - Validates port availability
   - Override auto-increment when needed

5. cargo pmcp dev Integration
   - Automatically uses configured port from .pmcp-config.toml
   - CLI --port flag still works for testing
   - Passes PORT environment variable to server

Progressive Learning Experience:
- Start simple (add tool only)
- Upgrade in-place (complete calculator with all tools)
- Add complexity (database with resources/workflows)
- Multiple servers coexist (different ports, no conflicts)

Files Changed:
- cargo-pmcp/src/main.rs: Added --port and --replace flags

The SIMD benchmark functions were gated on `feature = "simd"` but called
functions that are only available on x86_64 architecture. This caused
compilation failures on ARM systems (like Apple Silicon Macs).

Changes:
- Add `target_arch = "x86_64"` to cfg gates for benchmark_utf8_validation
- Add `target_arch = "x86_64"` to cfg gates for benchmark_websocket_masking
- Update criterion_group! macro to match the new cfg conditions

The benchmarks will now only compile on x86_64 when the simd feature is
enabled, matching the availability of the underlying SIMD functions.

…tion warning

Add comprehensive troubleshooting section to scenarios/README.md explaining:

**Known Limitation (Phase 1):**
- Tool assertion failures are expected due to nested JSON response format
- MCP wraps tool results in content[0].text as JSON string
- Generated assertions look for direct `result` path but it's nested

**Clear Solutions Provided:**
- Option 1: Use `contains` assertions on content[0].text path (recommended)
- Option 2: Accept limitation with continue_on_failure (current default)

**Added Quick Start:**
- Step-by-step workflow for tutorial users
- Detailed example of how to fix assertions
- Explanation of why tests pass overall despite failures

This addresses user concern about seeing assertion failures when running
the tutorial. Users will now have clear documentation explaining this is
expected behavior and how to resolve it.

Verified: Fresh tutorial run shows exactly this behavior - tool assertions
fail but overall test passes due to continue_on_failure: true.

- Add `resolve_template_bindings()` - resolves DataSource to string values
- Add `resolve_data_source_to_string()` - converts any DataSource to string
- Add `extract_field_as_string()` - supports dot notation (e.g., "user.profile.id")
- Add `value_to_string()` - handles JSON value to string conversion
- Modify resource fetching to interpolate URIs using template variables

### Design Documentation (docs/design/dynamic-resource-uri-interpolation.md)
- Complete design document explaining problem, solution, and implementation
- Usage examples for all patterns
- Testing strategy and migration path
- Future extensions documented

## Key Features

**Template Syntax**: Uses `{var_name}` matching guidance message syntax

**DataSource Support**: All variants supported:
- `prompt_arg("dataset_id")` - from user arguments
- `field("step1", "game_id")` - from previous step result
- `constant("default-id")` - static values

**Nested Field Access**: Dot notation for complex JSON:
- `field("user", "profile.id")` extracts nested fields

**Backwards Compatible**: Static URIs without bindings work unchanged

## Example Usage

```rust
WorkflowStep::new("read_guide", ToolHandle::new("read"))
    .with_resource("docs://{doc_id}")
    .expect("Valid URI")
    .with_template_binding("doc_id", field("query", "document_id"))
```

Implement two-phase resource fetching to support dynamic resource URIs that
depend on tool execution results. This fixes the Interactive Fiction team's
use case: call tool → extract value → fetch resource using that value.

## Problem

Resources were always fetched BEFORE tool execution, making it impossible to
use tool outputs in resource URIs. This created a circular dependency:
- Resource URI needs value from tool output
- But resource is fetched before tool runs
- Result: Cannot access tool output for URI interpolation

## Solution

Split resource fetching into two phases based on template binding analysis:

1. **Pre-tool phase**: Fetch resources without step-output dependencies
2. **Post-tool phase**: Fetch resources that depend on tool results

## Changes

### Prompt Handler (src/server/workflow/prompt_handler.rs)

**Added helper method** (line 277-285):
- `template_bindings_use_step_outputs()` - detects step-output dependencies
- Returns true if any binding uses `DataSource::StepOutput`

**Added centralized fetching** (line 287-345):
- `fetch_step_resources()` - unified resource fetching logic
- Resolves template bindings
- Interpolates URIs with actual values
- Fetches resource content
- Adds resource messages to conversation

**Modified workflow execution**:
- Pre-tool resource fetching (line 712-730)
  - Fetch resources without step-output dependencies
  - Maintain backward compatibility
- Post-tool resource fetching (line 781-797)
  - Fetch resources after tool execution
  - Access tool results via template bindings
  - Stop execution on fetch failure

### Example (examples/59_dynamic_resource_workflow.rs)

**Interactive Fiction hint system**:
- Step 1: Call `get_my_progress` tool → returns game_id
- Step 2: Fetch resource at `if://walkthrough/{game_id}`
- Resource URI interpolated AFTER tool execution
- Demonstrates post-tool resource fetching

### Quality Fix (Makefile)

**Allow clippy::cargo_common_metadata** (line 159):
- Suppress metadata warnings for workspace binary crates
- Only affects cargo-pmcp (development tool, not published)

## Benefits

✅ **Enables dynamic resources**: URIs can depend on workflow state
✅ **Backward compatible**: Static URIs work unchanged
✅ **Clean separation**: Pre-tool vs post-tool phases
✅ **Centralized logic**: DRY principle via `fetch_step_resources()`
✅ **Proper error handling**: Execution stops on fetch failure

## Example Usage

```rust
WorkflowStep::new("fetch_guide", ToolHandle::new("read"))
    .with_resource("docs://{game_id}")
    .expect("Valid URI")
    .with_template_binding("game_id", field("progress", "game_id"))
    .with_guidance("Fetching walkthrough for your game...")
```

## Testing

- All 849 tests passing
- Quality gate validated
- Example demonstrates correct execution order
- IF team successfully tested the feature
